Forums - Gaming Discussion - Boycott Uncharted 4!

Zekkyou on 09 March 2015

I agree. Why would anyone buy Uncharted 4 when they could simply play Farmville for free on facebook? Open yours eyes, sheeple!

Seriously though, i don't understand why people are still talking about this. Some value quality more, others quantity, some like a balance, and others just don't care. It's that simple. I don't personally believe 1886's minute by minute quality (bar visuals) is enough to justify the length/cost ratio, but i'm not going to pretend that 7~ hours (or even 5) is inherently too short. Why? Because i don't believe my opinion is an absolute truth. I mean, i'm pretty awesome, but i'm not that awesome :p

Because the worth of a game is specifically tied to it's length it is a rip off this game will be around 15-20 hours.

YES I already know what you're already thinking "$60 for 15/20 hours?! that's a disgrace!" Yeah, after lots of calculating I have come to the conclusion it costs $3/$4 an hour! Would YOU really buy a 100 hour game for $300/$400?!...... I don't think so.


Honestly I think this is about the dumbest argument I've ever heard.  We all know Uncharted 4 is going to be great like all the rest of the games in the series.  Mario games can take like 4 hours but I pay $60 none the less. 

Thats like the dumbest thing I've heard to discredit a game being worth the purchase price.  Last of us I paid for twice full retail because the game rocked and was about 15 hours.

Agreed, it's getting repetitive now


It's like people have these threads Ready at Dawn.

I knew this was coming!

You need to add that if you don't have a PS4 you must spend 400$ more (total 460$ so far) ... then 50$ a year for MP, imagine over 5 years that's 250$ just for multiplayer! so 60 + 400 + 250 = 710! that's not even counting the DLC that is bound to come!

and add to this that since people are expected to play this game A LOT they will need a second 60$ controller to compensate for the anemic battery life of the DS4... 770$ for just one game! this is INSANE! nobody will buy it when they learn the truth!

There are three things wrong in that sentence lol

Deus Ex (2000) - a game that pushes the boundaries of what the video game medium is capable of to a degree unmatched to this very day.

"Just for comparison Uncharted 4 was 20x bigger than Splatoon 2. This shows the huge difference between Sony's first-party games and Nintendo's first-party games."

I would. Metroid Prime Trilogy was that much at one point and I remember being totally interested but not having the money, despite having already played Corruption.

I see what you did there!

This is a needless reaction thread, which aren't allowed on VGC and can be seen as baiting/spamming. As such, we're going to lock this one before it gets out of hand.



 

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.
